The true about Manuela Ruda and her husband...
17 October 2007 author : Sumit Ojha
Manuela Ruda - the name is just enough for her identification. People believe that she and her husband are vampires. Of course there is no doubt that they drink human blood. They are popular in Goths for theirs uncommon lifestyle and behavior. Well, I know A LOT of devotees of devil are frequently punch me for saying Manuela Ruda is just a Vampiroid. I DON'T CARE!!! You have your opinions, I have mine and that's just peachy. I think, Manuela Ruda and her husband are not vampires. Manuela Ruda and her husband are actually believe themselves to be vampires. They are not. How could they be when the definition of a vampire, upon examination, is revealed to be a dead body that issues forth from its tomb in the night to quaff the warm blood of the living, whereby it is nourished and preserved? Vampiroids, therefore, cannot be re-animated corpses with an awful supernatural existence beyond the grave. People who either believe themselves to be vampires, or want to become vampires and affect what they construe to be vampiristic lifestyles, even when this is taken to extremes, are invariably vampiroids. The former may be benign, but the latter are capable of murder. Thus the vampiroid is not a supernatural being, but a human who embraces what he or she assumes to be a lifestyle commensurate with vampirism as largely depicted in fictional films and literature. Whereas the true vampire partakes of the dark natures and possesses the terrible qualities of both apparition and demon, assuming the form of a dead body to suck the blood of the living. Vampiroids identify with the imagery of the vampire and become totally seduced by its mythology, having almost no regard for what is fact and what is fantasy.

How to identify a vampire...
16 October 2007 author : Sumit Ojha
Vampires are really or fantasy? Who cares!! Well, Anne Rice Said "People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult." Anyway, here are the most common characteristics of vampires (following tips are also helpfully to identify a vampire):
Perfectly normal– While we all love to wear the pointy teeth at Halloween, original vampires were often the picture of health and normalcy. They look even healthier than you, but at night might come for your blood.
Elongated teeth– While some myths make vampires healthy looking, others have them deathly pale with elongated canines. Check your boyfriend’s/ girlfriend's teeth carefully before any make out sessions – not that you should be doing any necking anyway!
Missing Shadow– Many myths claim that vampires don’t cast a shadow. Some say this is because they have no soul, and others claim it is because they are dead already. Who cares? Its just plain creepy!
No Reflection– If you pass by a mirror with a friend and only you show up, you’re in trouble. Vampires don’t usually show up in mirrors, and again this is believed to be because vampires have no soul.
Shape Shifter– Vampires can change shape, and not just into bats like in the movies. Folklore tells that vampires can become any number of creatures including spiders and wolves – maybe even your adorably little kitten.
Well, ********** (I hide her name because I dislike to broadcast about my personal life) my ex-girlfriend. I think she have a lot of knowledge about vampires and according to her philosophy : Vampires DO have souls. And they DO show up in mirrors and they DO have shadows. Perhaps, she is right regarding vampires. Sometime I feel that vampires are just fantasy creatures. Naturally, all of this vampire talk is really just for fun. Real-life vampire tales pop up all over the globe from time to time, but they have all been proven false. But just remember…nobody is truly safe!

Bloodsuckers, Vampiroids and Goths...
15 October 2007 author : Sumit Ojha
Goths and Vampiroids contain few similarities. But Bloodsuckers are totally different. Because, an animal/person or insect that sucks/drinks blood from people or animals (as diet or use blood as a food) is called bloodsucker. A human-bloodsucker (HBs) is able to drink/suck more then 2 littler blood in one-time. And a Human-bloodsucker (HBs) got pains or suffers in any way when she / he do not get enough blood during the day/week/month. Anyone who cannot use blood as diet in not called bloodsucker. Drinking self blood is not the task of bloodsuckers, only Goths are drink self blood. Self-harms or mutilates their own body, Attempts to cut off a part of their own body (ie. fingers/arm/leg) are the work of Vampiroids.

Animals vampires
Why should vampirism be a disease limited to only human corpses ?
Bats and the vampire fish are the surviving species of another age but the case of Chupacabra is more troublesome ...
Vampire bats :- Vampire bats are members of the New World Leaf-nosed bats, the Phyllostomidae. Biologists have argued for years about whether vampire bats should be housed in their own family (the Desmodontidae) or included among the New World Leaf-nosed Bats (the Phyllostomidae).
Feeding habits :- Each vampire bat, whatever the species, needs about two tablespoonful of blood every day. This represents about 60% of the bat's body weight, or 20 g of blood.
There is a heat (infrared) sensor on the nose-leaf of Common Vampire Bats, permitting them to locate an area where the blood flows close to the skin. The bats extract this blood through a wound they make with their front (incisor) teeth.
The wounds are approximately 5 mm deep and 5 mm in diameter and do not cut arteries or veins. The bat then begins to use its tongue in the wound as well as its saliva. The action of his tongue keeps blood flowing, while grooves on the underside of the tongue draw blood toward the bat's mouth.
Meanwhile, the saliva has at least three active ingredients that promote bleeding. One is an anticoagulant that counters the clotting defences. A second keeps red blood cells from sticking together and a third inhibits the constriction of veins near the wound. It may take the bat about 20 minutes to fill its stomach.
Usually within two hours of setting out, the Common Vampire Bat returns to its roost and settles down to spend the rest of the night digesting its blood meal. It appears that vampire bats are "one stop shoppers," feeding on one victim each night. Getting 20 g of blood from a wound that normally produces just one drop is a specialized business. Being warm-blooded, common Vampire Bats cannot survive two nights without meal, so fasting is dangerous
A Venezuelan research team have isolated a previously unknown anticoagulant glycoprotein from Desmodus rotundus (the common vampire bat). This substance targets activated forms of blood coagulation factors, thus inhibiting them immediately. Named "draculin," this anticoagulant agent promises to be significant in the development of improved drugs to fight heart disease and stroke.
Vampires and bats:- The three species of actual vampire bats are all endemic to Latin America, and there is no evidence to suggest that they had any Old World relatives within human memory. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the folkloric vampire represents a distorted presentation or memory of the bat.
The bats were named after the folkloric vampire rather than vice versa. During the 16th century the Spanish conquistadors first came into contact with vampire bats and recognized the similarity between the feeding habits of the bats and those of their legendary vampires. The Oxford English Dictionary records the folkloric use in English from 1734 and the zoological not until 1774. It was not long before vampire bats were adapted into fictional tales, and they have become one of the more important vampire associations in popular culture.
Bats were associated with the mysterious and the supernatural long before Stoker's novel appeared in print. As creatures of the night, bats fit in well with the motifs of Gothic fiction. A bat-like vampire appears, for example, as an illustration in the novel “Varney the Vampire”, which appeared fifty years before “Dracula”.
While he was working on his novel in the 1890s, Stoker came across a clipping in a New York newspaper concerning vampire bats which directly influenced the following comment by Quincey Morris in “Dracula”:
"I have not seen anything pulled down so quick since I was on the Pampas and had a mare ... One of those big bats that they call 'vampires' had got at her during the night and ... there wasn't enough blood in her to let her stand up."
Stoker obviously did not know the fact that the vampire bat is quite small. Today, horror movie depiction’s of vampire bats often use flying foxes as models because larger they are easier to photograph. This contributes to the public perception of vampire bats as large, terrifying animals. But animals that feed on blood, whether they are insects, leeches or bats, tend to be small because blood is a precious commodity and hard to obtain in large amounts.
But Stoker's major contribution to the association of vampires with bats was his introduction of the idea that a vampire could shapeshift into the form of a bat (as well as a wolf and mist). For example, in his pursuit and seduction of Lucy, Count Dracula frequently morphs into the form of a large bat which flaps at her window.
theories about origin:- Three theories account for the origin of vampire bats. The first proposes that vampire bats originated from fruit-eating bats. This theory suggests that large, strong upper incisor teeth would make fruit bats well suited to switching to blood. This theory does not explain why blood-feeding did not also appear among the Old World Fruit Bats, the Pteropodidae.
The second theory suggests that the ancestors of vampire bats acquired a taste for blood by feeding on ticks and other blood-feeding ectoparasites of large mammals. Today in Africa, birds known as Ox-peckers make their living by feeding on ticks.
The third theory proposes that the ancestors of vampire bats began to feed on insects and insect larvae they found in wounds on large animals. This theory notes that insectivorous bats often feed where there are many insects and some of them adjust their hunting style according to the situation. Throughout the tropics, flies known as screw worms lay their eggs in wounds and their larvae develop into large masses. This theory identifies strong, sharp upper incisor teeth as the key to why blood-feeding only appeared in New World bats.
Many New World Leaf-nosed Bats have large, strong upper incisors. These teeth are lacking from those Old World bats with flexible foraging behaviour, namely the Slit-faced Bats and the False Vampire Bats.
All three species of living vampire bats occur in South and Central America. The three species are medium-seized, with adult wingspans of 320 to 350 mm and weights of about 40 grams. While they are larger than most of the bats of the temperate zones of the world, vampire bats are much smaller than Gigantic Flying Foxes, which weigh in at 1,500 g.
Evidence from proteins suggests that vampire bats have been around for 6 to 8 million years. Fossils of three other species reveal that several thousand years ago vampire bats were more widespread. They are known from Cuba and from as far north as West Virginia and the northern Califfornia, places where they no longer occur. With the exception of captive amimals, vampire bats have never been found outside of the New World.
Common Vampire Bats or "Desmodus rotundus."are the most widespread of vampires. They adapt well to captivity and often are exhibited in zoos. Hairy-legged Vampire Bats and White-winged Vampire Bats are less common and are less often caught by biologists.
While Common Vampire Bats may feed on the blood of mammals or birds, the White-winged Vampire Bat and the Hairy-legged Vampire Bat are thought to prefer bird blood.
Common Vampire Bats live together in structured societies or colonies that usually include one adult male with several females and their young. Like other bats, Common Vampires survive almost 20 years in the wild.
Paracanthopoma vampyra :- The 'vampire' fish is a smaller relative of a notorious fish called the candiru that lives in the Amazon river.
The fish is about 25 mm long and feeds off larger fish by swimming into their gill slits and sucking their blood.
chupacabra:- The name chupacabra is Spanish and literally means “goat sucker.” There seems to be no mention of belief in this creature before the mid-1990's. The first reports were from Puerto Rico in 1995. Then, soon after, there came reports from Mexico, Central America, and Brazil. By the end of 1996, there were alleged chupacabras sightings in Spain, Portugal, and in the U.S.A, including the state of Oregon.
According to The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Yeti, and Other Mystery Primates Worldwide by Loren Coleman and Patrick Huyghe(Avon Books, 1999), the chupacabras is about four feet tall, covered with short, fine grey fur with spots. It has damp, dark, protuding eyes that run up to the temples and spread to the sides. Its nostrils appear as two little holes. It has a slit-like mouth. Its legs are long and skinny, and it has only three toes. It also has long, skinny arms and hands, and three long, skinny fingers that end with claws. A set of spikes run down the creatures back.
